Let 's track it in xen's bugzilla, too.

After save/restore guest OS, We can not ping any address, we need to run 
dhclient to re-fetch an IP address, and the network works again.
The expected result is that guest network still working after restore it.

It is a critical issue in fact. the request to create a very large guest will 
fail obviously, but the system status already becomes abnormal. It prints a lot 
error information continuously. 

(XEN) memory.c:133:d0 Could not allocate order=0 extent: id=0 memflags=0 (0 of 
512)
(XEN) memory.c:133:d0 Could not allocate order=0 extent: id=0 memflags=0 (0 of 
512)

And We cannot create any guest any more except reboot the system.

You are showing the Usage of "xl vcpu-pin", not "xl vcpu-set",  "xl vcpu-set" 
takes 2 arguments.

[root@vt-nhm7 ~]# xl help vcpu-set
Usage: xl [-v] vcpu-set <Domain> <vCPUs>

Set the number of active VCPUs allowed for the domain.

It is NOT because we bind too much vcpu to the a single pcpu.  "xm vcpu-list" 
can list the vcpus which does not do the binding only, but for the binded vcpu, 
even though we bind only one vcpu to a pcpu, "xl vcpu-list" command does not 
return, either. We need to type "CTRL-C" to terminate it.
